Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Archbishop Ussher in p. 39 of his Book de brit. eccl. primordiis mentioned two ancient coins found in England, one silver, the other gold. The silver one was in the hands of Joseph Holland, the gold one among the curiosities of Sir Rob. Cotton. Both had the image of a Christian King (that he was Christian appeared from the sign of the Cross upon them) & certain obscure letters. which seem to be LVC. That ’twas Lucius, the 1st Christian King, was the opinion of the Archbishop.' (Hearne 1885, vol. 11, p. 380; Burnett 2020b, p. 469 n. 11)
